Tom Waits - Long Way Home.

If anyone was wondering, yes, I would go out with Tom Waits. Just putting that out there.

Neon Trees - Baby (Justin Bieber cover).

Listen, I don’t like Justin Bieber. He’s annoying. But it turns out if you take him out of the equation and throw a little “Stand By Me” into the mix, this song is kind of the best thing ever.

La Strada - Julia.

This song is so beautiful, and so catchy, and so familiar, that I can’t believe it’s only been my favorite song for a week.

Sorry for this most recent hiatus. You can thank Dave for getting me back into the game.

Gangstagrass - Pain.

I’ve wanted to put this up for a few days, but I’ve been struggling between putting up MY actual new favorite song and something more akin to what Gangstagrass is all about. Which is literally people rapping over bluegrass tunes. WHICH IS AWESOME. But this blog is about my new favorite songs, you assholes, so you’ll have to deal with my weakness for a perfect chorus.

Anyway, when you’re done, you should also track down the rest of their AWESOME-AWESOME-AWESOME album. Particularly “On the Run”, which you’ve probably heard in the commercials for Justified, which is like True Blood for Cowboys, and is my new favorite show. Coincidentally, it stars Timothy Olyphant, who is quickly climbing to the top of my “5 guys I’d kill to touch” list.

I had too much coffee this morning.

Loudon Wainwright III - Motel Blues.

When I first heard this song, I liked it. But once I listened to it a few more times, and then couldn’t stop listening to it, I was all like “NEVER STOP SINGING, LOUDON! DANCE, MONKEY, DANCE!” So yeah.

Trains Across the Sea - I Will Meet You There.

My only complaint is this song is way too short. Otherwise, perfection.

Fionn Regan - Put a Penny in the Slot.

Okay, okay, I’m sorry about the obnoxious music streak I’ve been on lately. Here’s a nice one. Promise!

Uh oh. I love Josh Ritter.

I’ve got some serious cognitive dissonance going on here, because his name sounds just like someone else’s name who I can’t remember but the similarity is making me embarrassed to admit I like this guy.

Anyway, this song is nice! What were you saying?

Josh Ritter - Girl in the War.
